TDD подход к разработке зарекомендовал себя как очень надежный и быстрый способ реализовать задачи бизнеса с помощью программного кода. Но большая часть примеров на тренингах и в интернете показывает как применять TDD в очень простых ситуациях для кода вида вход/выход или с использованием заглушек для простых зависимостей. А как насчет осталь��ых областей разработки приложения как интеграция с БД? Возможно ли применить TDD к ним? Что даст в этом случае TDD разработчику? Я попробую в своем докладе ответить на эти вопросы и покажу на практических примерах как может быть полезен подход TDD для кода интеграции с БД, как он уменьшает риски и открывает двери для техник рефакторинга БД. В качестве бонуса будут затронуты некоторые NoSQL решения, что должно сделать тему еще популярнее! P.S. Все примеры будут демонстрироваться на Java.

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

Make Tachyon Ready for Next-Gen Data Center Platforms with NVM. The talk was presented at Strata Singapore, December 2015, focusing on using Tachyon Tiered Storage with NVM as the next generation data center platforms.

1) Alluxio is an open-source virtual distributed storage system that provides memory-speed access to data across various storage platforms including HDFS, S3, and Swift. 2) Alluxio was presented as having four main use cases - using off-heap memory to alleviate resource pressure, enabling fast data sharing between jobs, accelerating access to remote storage, and providing a unified namespace across different storage systems. 3) Case studies demonstrated that Alluxio improved performance and enabled new workflows, with speedups of 15-300x reported for different customers including Barclays, Qunar, and Baidu.

At Databricks, we have a unique view into over a hundred different companies trying out Spark for development and production use-cases, from their support tickets and forum posts. Having seen so many different workflows and applications, some discernible patterns emerge when looking at common performance and scalability issues that our users run into. This talk will discuss some of these common common issues from an engineering and operations perspective, describing solutions and clarifying misconceptions.

The document summarizes trends observed at CES 2016. It notes that while hardware changes more slowly than software and expectations, CES 2016 showed an evolution in products that were faster, thinner, cheaper and more connected. Key trends included autonomous mobility with self-driving vehicles; collaborative systems as companies partner to create more value; cognitive robotics becoming more human-like; infinite screens as everything becomes a display; mixed reality with virtual and augmented reality gaining momentum; and diagnostic wearables that closely monitor health metrics.

Alluxio (formerly Tachyon) provides a unified namespace and tiered storage that allows data to be shared across clusters at memory speed. It is a virtual distributed storage system with a memory-centric architecture that abstracts persistent storage from applications. Alluxio enables data sharing between frameworks by allowing inter-process sharing at memory speed rather than being slowed by network or disk I/O. It also provides data resilience during application crashes by allowing processes to re-read data from memory I/O rather than network or disk I/O. Alluxio further allows consolidating memory usage across applications by preventing data duplication at the memory level.

The document discusses different architects and what they find architecture in, including nature, curving forms, simple geometries, form and function, materials, details, volume, light, technology, and sustainability. It asks what architecture is, stating that architecture is simply a need that is developed through an innovative design for the future. The document encourages sharing ideas to lead to better ideas, and remembering that architecture is more than buildings but is the essence of life.

Neo4j is a graph database that stores data in nodes and relationships. It allows for efficient querying of connected data through graph traversals. Key aspects include nodes that can contain properties, relationships that connect nodes and also contain properties, and the ability to navigate the graph through traversals. Neo4j provides APIs for common graph operations like creating and removing nodes/relationships, running traversals, and managing transactions. It is well suited for domains that involve connected, semi-structured data like social networks.

NoSQL database is the first alternative to relational databases, with scalability, availability, and fault tolerance being key deciding factors.

This document provides an overview of NoSQL databases and their characteristics. It discusses the different eras of databases and pressures that led to the rise of NoSQL databases. It then categorizes and describes the different types of NoSQL databases, including key-value stores, document stores, column family stores, and graph databases. Specific examples like MongoDB, Cassandra, HBase, Neo4j are also outlined. The document emphasizes that the type of database chosen should depend on the problem to be solved and characteristics of the data.

This document provides an overview of NoSQL databases, including a brief history, classifications, pros and cons of usage, and trends. It discusses how NoSQL technologies originated from distributed computing needs and were driven by scalability, parallelization, and costs. Major classifications of NoSQL databases are described as column-oriented stores, key-value stores, document stores, and graph databases. Examples like MongoDB, Cassandra, and Neo4j are outlined. Both benefits and limitations of NoSQL are presented. Emerging trends around SQL access and adoption of Hadoop are also noted.

This document discusses trends driving the adoption of NoSQL databases, including increasing data size, connectivity of information, semi-structured data, and distributed application architectures. It describes four categories of NoSQL databases - aggregate-oriented, key-value stores, column family (BigTable), and document databases - and provides examples and comparisons of their pros and cons.

This document discusses how to use NoSQL databases in enterprise Java applications. It provides an overview of Spring Data, an open source framework that supports NoSQL and SQL databases. Spring Data provides common infrastructure and repositories to access data stores like MongoDB, Redis, and Neo4J. The presentation includes an example of using Spring Data to access MongoDB, with annotations for entities, configuration for the data store, and repositories for data access. Attendees are encouraged to try Spring Data with a data model that matches their data.

Toward the end of the talk, we will examine a typical Data Analytics system architecture.

Life science databases are sometimes difficult to understand due to lack of information. I'd like to add metadata into databases and improve search results.

NoSQL databases provide an alternative to traditional relational databases that is well-suited for large datasets, high scalability needs, and flexible, changing schemas. NoSQL databases sacrifice strict consistency for greater scalability and availability. The document model is well-suited for semi-structured data and allows for embedding related data within documents. Key-value stores provide simple lookup of data by key but do not support complex queries. Graph databases effectively represent network-like connections between data elements.
